suggestions about GTK theme

[darkvampire]

i would really like to make themes.what are the skills required?will it take much time to learn them.

I really do not know. I'll do a bit of research for a tutorial for you.
Someone may post with the knowledge in the meantime, however.

It seems your going to need to know programing.

If you want something which resembles KDE, why not just use KDE?

On your current Ubuntu installation (I'm presuming your using ubuntu) open up the terminal and type the command:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

During the installation process, you should be asked whether you want to use KDM or GDM as your default display manager. If you think you'll use KDE more frequently, make KDM your default. If you think you'll use Gnome more frequently, keep GDM as your default.

The default can always be changed later by modifying the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file. For KDM, the file should read /usr/bin/kdm; for GDM, the file should read /usr/sbin/gdm

When KDE is done installing, log out.

Click on Options and then Select Session.

In the Sessions dialogue, select KDE and then Change Session.

Finally, before you log back in again, decide whether you want to change to KDE just for this session or if you want to make KDE your default desktop environment.

Then, log back in, and you should be using KDE.

To switch back to Gnome, just log out and select Gnome from the session menu.

If you later decide you don't want KDE any more, go back to the terminal and paste in:

sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop

Are you looking for something like Vista Aero?

It is quite hard to find a half-decent glassy GTK theme.

Vista Aero is designed to make your desktop look like glass.

Could you not use Compiz or Emerald? There are many glass themes for them. (:

sorry to bump an old post, but that is not true that you have to know programming, you simply have to change the images in a theme*
*this only works on pixmap themes (themes that use images instead of code)
